Introduction:
This is my first time of writing diary from wrestling booking sim. I played this games for years especially TEW series. This is AEW Modern Day save in TEW 2020 starting in January 2023. I started this game a while ago so im already in April 2024 that is why at the beginning I will post events only (with some additional info of what happened), I will try to make one post a week until I catch up and then start more detailed diary with more detailed description for matches and weekly shows. As I said it is my first diary so any suggestion are welcomed.

After it was announced that Face of the Revolution Ladder Match will take place at Revolution and winner will get a title opportunity a significant portion of the roster competed in series of qualification matches which determined 5 of the contestants. The last one were set to be suprise at the day of the show. And what a suprise it was when Rated R Superstar Edge became All Elite!

Stadium Stampede Match
Jericho Appreciation Society (Chris Jericho, Daniel Garcia, Matt Menard, Angelo Parker, Sammy Guevara) vs Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta), Eddie Kingston and Ortiz
The bitter rivarly that Kingston had with Jericho had continued in 2023 and it heavily involved Eddie's friend Ortiz. Everytime they faced JAS overnumbered them until other friend of Kingston - Mox reacted and with his stable BCC came to his rescue. Eddie was reluctant to take that help especially with Claudio who wasn't anywhere close to being on friendly terms with Eddie, but with convincing from Ortiz he finally accepted it and Stadium Stampede was set up. At the end Eddie couldn't put his differences with Castagnoli aside and it did costed them a match. After the fight it was clearly seen that both Mox and Ortiz were angry with Eddie over it.
Winners: JAS
Match Rating: 75
AEW TBS Championship Open Challenge
Jade Cargill (c) vs Mercedes Mone
After going through much of the roster with her defences Jade was believing there is no challenge left for her in AEW. She didnt find opponent for Revolution which caused her to set an open challenge for anyone willing to stand in the ring with her. To her disbelief AEW made a new signing that day and that signing responded to her challenge. Mercedes Mone is ALL Elite!
Winner: Mercedes Mone

Rivarly between this two man started after the match where Perry beat Jeff Jarrett a member of the same stable as Lethal.

AEW Womens World Championship
Jamie Hayter vs Saraya
Two british wrestlers at different points of their careers were destined to meet in the ring. Highly popular champion Jamie always followed by former champion and friend Britt Baker didn't show much respect to Saraya who kept implying that Bakers friendship is fake and she just waits for a right moment, but since Revolution is coming she wont get that chance when the title will change hands. Initially her words weren't taken seriously but with coming weeks the cracks between Hayter and Baker could be clearly seen.
Winner: Jamie Hayter

He started a succesfull run of beating opponent after opponent until he caught attention of TNT Champion Samoa Joe. Joe shown in his violent ways to Natural that if he does want his title it might as well end his career already. Dustin wasn't really touched by the threat knowing that it might be only and last chance to call himself a champion.

Important Segment:
The announcment for Revolution was made about a new signing for AEW. It is Mick Foley! He is announced for a completely new position of AEW Commisioner. After few words he gets interrupted by Jake Roberts and Lance Archer. The Snake welcomes Mick by letting him know that their situation and not being included at Revolution is situation that has to be delt with or they will have to deal with the authority that he is now. Archer get close to Foley showing him intentions of what can happen. Mick stays calm and tell both of them that if they want a fight he might have someone for them. He wasn't about to announce this today as we already had night full of suprises and this was ready for other night, but we can speed it up as this man, his friend is here tonight.

MJF (c) vs Bryan Danielson
Bryan Danielson came to AEW to fight best wrestlers in the world but he didn't see one in MJF, that is why he told him that the world title needs to be taken off his shoulders. MJF clearly hurt by Danielsons words still wasn't keen of giving him opportunity in the ring. In classic MJF story he put American Dragon through hoop after hoop before he could earn title opportunity at Revolution.
